So It's One Step Foreward

Gathered togetherAs representatives of the whole-Of God's mind and intentions.(I'm looking to the unseen)We are living stonesBeing fitted together..So it's one step forward

Passed a cemeteryOn the way homeI'd seen a plastic angelLooking over a grave-Then I asked myself,Do I replace the organicFor symbolsOf what I won't walk outIn experience?Maybe two steps backwards?I shudderAn hope it's introspection?

Later scanningAn endless databaseIt is I,Looking over namesOrigins of far off countriesWhat could be my linageIn time once, but no moreMy body feels so heavy,Anchored like a ball an chainI'd like to shake the dustFrom my feetAn fly up to the cloudsWeightless, beyond the earth an sea

Then I could hear this songGathering momentum,Just before yesterday caught up..Lifted all my faith&Hopes-Beyond those clouds to triumph

I'd cleaned the glassJust to glimpse a better view-On the tails of a full moonWhen night descends..And we are living stonesBeing fitted togetherSo it's one step forward-

Heaven overreaches you and me, And all earth's gardens and her graves. Look up with me, until we see The day break and the shadows flee. What though to-night wrecks you and me-If so to-morrow saves? Taken from (Leaves of Life)..Signer Crispi
